Do you mean the "service" of defending artist's intellectual property rights? If there weren't so many wastoids out there stealing stuff from their clients, then RIAA would be a couple of bored lawyers sitting around drinking coffee. Dream on, my FRiend.
The simple fact is the RIAA needs to get with the program and work in the direction things are going, rather than trying to maintain their monopolistic control over an industry.
RIAA is perfectly entitled to do whatever their little ice-covered hearts choose to do when it comes to defending their client's right to their intellectual property. As a consumer, you have exactly two choices when it comes to recorded music if you want to listen to it: either pay the going rate for it or don't listen to it. Stealing it is not a proper option and is punishable (and deservedly so) by whatever sanction that other thieves get.
